An efficient Govt can implement Freebies without taking additional debt or increasing taxes AAP Magic: Lowest Debt-Gdp% Maximum Freebies in Delhi

Just the corporate loan-write offs during Modi Govt would have funded "AAP freebies" for all Indians for over 3 years

¶ 3 types of Freebies

It is important to distinguish between three different types of freebies

¶ AAP Style Freebies

1. Free Quality Education -
   Why Free & Quality Education is a Necessity for India
2. Free Quality Healthcare - Why Quality & Free healthcare is a Necessity for India
3. Free Electricity- Right to lifeline Electricity
4. Free Water - Right to lifeline Water
5. Free Bus travel for women (AAP Wiki)
6. Free Teerath Yatra for elderly (AAP Wiki) - Spiritual fulfillment for economically disadvantaged

¶ Non essential Freebies

1. Free make up boxes gifted by BJP in Madhya Pradesh^[1]
2. Free Sarees gifted by BJP in Karnataka/Gujarat ^[2][3]
3. Liquor/money typically distributed in elections^[4]
4. And many such political gimmicks to mislead the voters and present no long term advantage to the population.

¶ Corporate Freebies

1. Large scale loan write offs (AAP Wiki) including settlement with wilful defaulters
2. Unjustified tax benefits (e.g. GST waiver for Adani on transfer of Jaipur airport^[5])
3. Many such examples

_{In this article from now on, please refer Freebies as AAP style freebies}

¶ Feasibility study

How much do AAP Style freebies cost?

Rs. 5 lakh tax collected on average per Delhi family in 2022-23^[6]

Comparison with Other Freebies's Cost

*_{The freebies cost above only includes free electricity, water, bus rides, tirth yatra.}
**_{Cost of first 3 items has been divided by number of all households in just Delhi (~35 lakh)}
***_{Cost of last two items has been divided by number of households in whole of India (~30 crore)}

¶ Delhi case study: AAP freebies a relief from rising disparity & boost to economy

A survey published by DDC^[13] of all households including both posh & poor colonies across 11 district in Delhi found that AAP subsidies provided significant relief to tackle the rising disparity under Modi Govt:

1.Highest(not average) monthly saving is for free & quality Education = ₹1267
2.Second Highest monthly saving is for free & quality Healthcase = ₹1071

1. Bridging rich-poor disparity: An average Delhi household saved over Rs. 29,000 per year, more for poorer families

2. Bottom up economic boost: 95% of households spent the saved amount on food, medicines, education, appliances etc

3. The subsidies had a significant impact on saving and expenditure pattern

¶ AAP Magic: Development & Freebies but NO Debt

• Investment on People: Delhi spends highest on health and education to honor its promise to deliver free quality education and free quality healthcare
• Yet it maintains the lowest average fiscal deficit and lowest outstanding debt as compared to all other states
• In addition Delhi gets the least amount of funds from the center despite contributing significantly in central taxes^[14]

¶ BJP/Congress could NOT implement AAP style freebies effectively

• Other political parties could only manage poor copies of AAP freebies Ineffective copies of AAP style freebies (AAP Wiki).
• Why Not? : Missing anti-corruption measures & honest intentions

Delhi Govt effort to plug leakages^[15]
